Hey everyone,

I want to black out the small window between the C & D pillars, what is a easy quick way of doing this??? And if anyone else has done it, please post pics... Thanks...

 

5% tint

 

I have seen postings where people have removed the interior panel around the window( major pain) I had to do it to install my tweeters, and then wrap suede or leather over the window and reinstall the trim panel, with the window tinted you can't even see the back of the material.

Hope this helps.

 

here is an idea

I agree with the tint angle. My windows are tinted with what we refer to as "limo tint" in the rear windows and the driver and passenger sides in a lighter tint (all legal here). But from the outside, they appear to be "blacked out". From the inside you still have the visibility. See the pic on my profile..

 

I used headliner matereial, it is foam with black on one side and gray on the other. I cut it twice as big as i needed and folded it in half so both sides are black and placed it inbetween the glass and the panel.
I used 1/2 yard and it cost me around $5.50



No glue needed at all.

 

Just sell your box and buy the 2008 xB - those windows are already "blanked out". They now create nice blind spot.

 

don't you loose your antena by doing this? won't even tint interfere with the antenas?

 

tint should not interfere with the antenna

 

i used 5% limo tint.

 

Or do as i did...make a patten of the opening on MDF and cover it and screw it in...the other side is the same without the amp. Its also now covered with sliver velvet on the panel, and blue on the MDF.

 

Hmmm, im really liking the components idea... I may have to look into this...

 

audioformz.com is the stuff.

 

Or you can add mirrors. I painted the outfacing side black and orange LEDs at the top.

 

does the antenna still work?

 

Thats a good ?, but i dont see why not. I run a Sirius receiver wired directly into my head unit. I really dont use the antenna, but from what i have been told by several people is that the antenna itself us sub-par. Quite a few have used wire monuted antennas in the front windshield in order to make up for the stock one.

 

I don't have issues with mine working, it works fine but I haven't covered the back windows, and what I've read says that once you put something in there other then tint it nullifies the antennas

 

i filled mine in with some vinyl fabric. worked, but i cant get it quite perfect. i'm just gonna leave it for now.

 

Love the mirror idea!

Any pictures at night with the leds on?

 

Tell ya what, ill take one right now. BRB

And there is a local shop who can cut them for you and ship them as well.

UPDATE i tried, but my interior lighting is more of a mood lighting. Meaning that even with 2 LEDs at the top, i cant get a good pic. I tried the same with my interior as well, and its just too dimly lit, which is the way i like it. Kinda like the accent lighting they have running down the isles at your local movie theator. Sorry
